folded to victory

Not sure what just happened.Playing in a $5 w/ rebuys on absolute. Player Brian is dominating with 2 tables left, i'm 2nd in chips. He proceeds to knock out probably 12 of the final 16 players. We get down to heads up, he has a huge chip lead almost 450,000 to 110,000. WE battle it out HU for about 40 hands and I work my way up to 250,000 in chips. Next hand I pick up QQ and take down a 80,000 chip pot and take the lead. Then he just leaves and gets blinded out...Took home my 2nd win in as many weeks. Just couldn't figure it out though. He was playing really well, then just up and leaves after I make my comeback? Anybody ever have this happen?? I'll post hand histories if no one believes me...lol?????
